700c? No. Not 1-cross. The Alfine / Nexus has a large flange but still. I would have built it 3-cross. Perhaps 2-cross if I was using an eyeletted rim where the nipple angle wasn't quite right. Even the hub manufacturers such as Rohlhoff or Powertap recommend 2-cross.

I've built up 1-cross but only with large flange hubs laced to small rims, such as a Rohlhoff on a Moulton rim. How big is the rim?

Ryan's great. I buy spokes from them whenever I am low on stocks. Met up with them at Bespoked last year in Bristol. Excellent prices as always. And quick delivery. With all the e-bikes and cargo bikes around need a good source of 13g spokes.

Is there a thread with a list of London wheelbuilders and their locations? I often get queries from people who live the other side of London from me but don't want to travel to me but ask if I know anyone local to them.

I can cut one to the exact length for you. Black plain gauge 14g. I'm in SE London if that's convenient for you. Sydenham / Crystal Palace / Penge area.

That's brilliant. Thanks. Client has decided to go for the XR31.

I've been asked to replace the rims on a set of Dura Ace wheels. They are very worn but the hubs are still good. I've done this in the past with Cole C24 rims but no idea where to source them nowadays. The spoke count is very low: 16/20 so I'm struggling to find any rims at all with a 16 hole drilling. I've read on some forums of people using a 32 hole rim and lacing it to every other hole as it's a radial pattern. Don't think they'll be happy with that. Thought about Chinese carbon rims too as you can specify what you want but they want aluminium rims rather than carbon.
Any pointers much appreciated.

It was a made to measure frame and this wheel size was the best fit for that frame. My job was merely to build up the wheels and I wasn't really involved in the bike build. The rider herself wouldn't need to consider tyre choices etc. as when the time comes she would simply take it back to the bike builder (Racer Rosa).
